New car!

Looks good, and nice weather for it. Does it have an LSD? I see what you mean about the exhausts now - are they all functional?

Is there a Fiat badge on it anywhere at all?

edit: and you can't be far away from me and a few others if that was from Aldershot.

1) Yep, UK models come pretty well spec’d as standard, LSD, silly exhaust sound, silly number of exhausts, brembos etc

1.5) All exhausts are functional

2) GREAT weather for it. This is actually my first convertible, and I’ve learned something that will seem obvious, but I’d never considered. The roof of a car is often doing an excellent job of shielding your eyes from the sun. Even with sunnies on, that damn star is very much shining in ones eyes

3) I’ve not looked, but there will be. Finding Fiat badges will be boring, I’m going looking for Jeep badges

4) Stop stalking me

Richard, I suspect from your hairy Facebook picture you're not suffering from a bald spot, but that's another thing to beware of. A baseball cap may be unseemly on someone of my advancing years but it's a necessity

Balding isn’t (currently) an issue. I guess the eventual sunburn will be an excellent early warning system tho

Not to be a drama queen - but a very good family friend had an incident through this very thing. Drove his 993 Cab from Calais to Le Mans, roof down, baseball cap on etc. Basically his neck got sunburnt and a few hours after arrival he had a bloody epileptic fit. I know it's a one off but had to say. I recommend a Buff.

Too many main colours, three's a crowd, keep it down to two and it'd be better (IMO).

So basically convertibles give you epilepsy? Why have the daily mail not picked up on this? I'm furious.

(On a serious note, hope your friend is okay these days JL)

And diesel convertibles give you epilepsy, skin cancer and emphysema!
